WHAT HAPPENED AT NIGHT?

"Mr. Hiroshi, you can join me for coffee if you feel comfortable at this hour", Aaron said.

"Sure, the event is about to end, after that we will drink coffee while sitting inyour garden" Mr. Hiroshi replied.

"I want Ms. Alayah to join us", Mrs. Hiroshi requested.

When the event ended, Aaron's driver came to take them. They entered Aaron's house.

AT AARON'S HOUSE"

"Ah, this is the view I loved the most", Mrs. Hiroshi said.

"Please feet at home, let me serve the drinks before coffee", Aaron said and went towards the kitchen and Alayah stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Hiroshi.

"Aaron! Do you have glasses?" Alayah yelled from the garden but Aaron did not reply.

"This man… this man… is such a… he wants everything to stay still… obsessed with orders… countless rules… always angry…", Alayah was saying it while holding a cushion, and the Japanese couple was laughing, Aaron was looking at her from the kitchen, he walked towards the garden and asked,

"Miss Alayah, would you like to help me in serving the drinks?"

They went into the kitchen, Aaron opened one of the cabinets and withdrew four beautiful shot glasses and arranged them in a tray.

"They are stunning", Alayah said and held the tray.

"Be careful", Aaron said.

"I have never seen the glasses before, do you know why? because I never knew they are here", Alayah said and walked towards the garden.

"Mr. Aaron, we will spend more time next time, it is too late now we should leave", Mr. Hiroshi said.

"No, you came here for the coffee, let me prepare that for you", Alayah said.

"Thank you, young lady, but next time", Mrs. Hiroshi said.

"Of course, the driver will take you to the hotel", Aaron said. And the Japanese couple got up to leave.

"Please come again", Alayah said.

"Of course, Thank you so much Mr. Aaron", the couple said.

"Take care, see you", Aaron said and the couple left.

"I should take my purse and leave", Alayah said.

"Miss Alayah, I read a story and it says that you don't enslave by your emotions, believe in reason, logic, you felt angry and get drunk, you have no control over your emotions", Aaron said.

"Mr. Aaron, you want everything within the framework of logic, you are as boring as a logical book", Alayah said, she was unable to walk properly as she was drunk so she sat on one of the chaise lounges placed near the pool.

I believe in logic and what about you?" Aaron asked.

"I make my own logic… for example, I go to work and school, but it doesn't mean that my life is all about studying and cooking. I do travel as much as I want, sometimes I just escape from the monotonous life, don't think I am naïve, just because a person is pretty it doesn't mean he/she is naïve", Alayah said.

"Ha-ha, you are obviously not naïve", Aaron said and sat with her.

"Tonight, the moon is beautiful", Alayah said.

"Yes, it is", Aaron said. Alayah felt sleepy, "the weather is good, too", she said and put her head on Aaron's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Smells like jasmine", Aaron said while looking at her, she immediately got up and said, "I should leave".

"Don't go, stay here tonight", Aaron said while looking at her.

"Sorry? What are you saying?" Alayah asked.

"Yes, it is normal for you, as you are in a habit of doing so", Aaron said.

"Stop it!" Alayah said and she was about to fall.

"Spend the night at my place, I know you worked very hard to be here, first you became my cook, then you came to the event, and see you are here, finally at my house, at night", Aaron said and Alayah was looking at him with a shocked face.

"This is what you wanted, right? Come let's go inside", Aaron said.

THE NEXT MORNING:

Alayah opened her eyes, she was laying in Aaron's bed she immediately sat on the bed and tried to think what actually happened last night, she left the bed, looked at herself in the mirror, "what am I wearing, I think I wore a maxi last night", she questioned herself. She was wearing a grey casual shirt. She immediately took her phone, "thirty missed calls from Elin", she said and dialed her number.

"Alayah! Have you gone out of your mind? Where are you right now?" Elin asked.

"Elin! please listen to me, I am in Aaron's bedroom and even wearing his shirt", Alayah replied.

"What the hell are you talking about, why you are there? Did you lie to me? You said you are going to attend the Japanese event!" Elin said.

"I attended the event, I got drunk fast, and…" Alayah tried to think.

"Think hard my girl", Elin said.

"And yes, the couple asked me to join them for coffee then we went to Aaron's house, then the couple left, and then…" Alayah stopped talking.

"Then?" Elin asked.

"Oh, Elin I am thinking, I am thinking", Alayah shouted, "Yes Aaron said something, oh what was that, what was that, I just do not know, it is like I lost my memory, I can't remember what happened after that", Alayah said.

"Alayah you have to think about what happened, otherwise things will be very difficult to handle", Elin said.

"Yes, Aaron picked me up and laid me on the bed, my dress was completely wet, and I… I can't remember why", Alayah tried to think.

"You let him to do so?" Elin asked.

"What?" Alayah questioned.

"To lift you up! Stupid girl", Elin said, "What topics did you discuss with him, and did he mention that he was falling in love with you? Did he say he was fascinated by you? Did he claim to be falling for you? Has he indicated that he cannot take his eyes off of you? Please tell me what he said!" Elin asked with excitement

"Elin! Don't drive me crazy, I said I don't remember what he said, I remembered that we talked, but what was it I just don't know! All I know is I woke up in his bed and in his shirt, Elin! What have we done?" Alayah asked.

"Calm down, and tell me where is he right now?" Elin asked.

"How would I know? Hold on, I am going downstairs to check if he is at home or not", Alayah said and started walking downstairs.

"We need to send the file", Alayah heard Aaron's voice.

"Oh Elin! He is at home, now what should I do?" Alayah asked.

"Girl, stay calm, act normally, and asked him what happened last night", Elin said.

"You want me to stay calm? I can't I just can't, I am not going anywhere, I will stay in his bedroom and will come home when he will leave for office", Alayah said.

"Alayah! You need to know what happened! Are you getting me?" Elin asked.

"Yes, you are right, I am going", Alayah said.

"That's like a good girl, now go and act normally", Elin said, and don't cut the call, I am with you just stay calm.

"Yes, last night was good, I mean I spent time with Alayah, she is better than I expected, I will tell you each and everything when we meet", Alayah heard, Aaron was saying this to someone on call, she was standing in the living room and Aron was in the kitchen and was talking to Erik while preparing the coffee.

"Elin! He is talking to his friend about last night, he is saying that he will tell each and everything about night", Alayah whispered.

So? Do you believe that only girls discuss these things with their friends? Men also do this", Elin said.

"I can't breathe properly, I just don't know what to do", Alayah said to Elin.

"Follow my instructions and approach him, lean gently on the door, seem tired, yawn—but don't yawn like an animal, yawn like a baby, then smile broadly and say good morning. Surely you should say something reasonable if he asks about last night, just say that it was a good night", Elin said

Elin! Are you crazy? How could I say something I don't even remember!" Alayah said.

"Stay cool, I'm going to hang up, good luck my tigress", Elin said and disconnected the call.

Alayah entered the kitchen, stood with the door, moved her hand in her hair, and yawned like a rhino but soon she remembered Elin's words 'yawn like a baby' but now it was too late, she looked at Aaron and said, "Good Morning", in a lovely tone.

Poor Aaron was looking at her with a shocked face, "Good Morning", he said with a confused tone.

"Alayah! Do you remember what happened last night?", Aaron asked and Alayah forgot that she had to stay calm.

"Look we were talking and…" Aaron tried to explain.

"No, don't make me feel embarrassed", Alayah said and gave a fake smile.

"Alayah! Embarrassed? But why? I mean me and Mr. Hiroshi…" Aaron was saying but was soon interrupted by Alayah.

"What? Mr. Hiroshi too", Alayah asked and put both hands on her face due to embarrassment.

"What are you talking about?" Aaron asked.

"What are you talking about?" Alayah questioned.
